I would like to transfer my contacts from an old computer to new one both on Thunderbird

Got a new computer and I just wanted to transfer all the contacts in my address book from there to my new computer on Thunderbird rather than painstakingly doing it one at a time! Can I import them all?

I think I should clarify a bit more... Both my old computer and new computer have Thunderbird on them. I just want to "magically" get all my address book contacts from the old computer and older version of Thunderbird to the new computer and newer version (I assume) of Thunderbird. Is this possible? I am not REAL computer literate so the directions (if there are any) must be easy to understand.
Thanks

  • I am using firefox 3.6.23 on my old computer, I have a new laptop that I would like to transfer the bookmarks from the old to the new, but the old computers firefox does not have the sync tab under options, what now?

    I have a tower running windows XP, using Firefox 3.6.23. I have a new laptop running windows 7. I have just downloaded firefox 7. Now I want to bring the bookmarks form my old tower computer using firefox 3.6.23 to the new laptop using firefox 7.0. I got the instruction on how to sync the two computers, but I cannot find the sync tab under options in the firefox 3.6.23 computer. Will upgrading the tower's firefox to a newer version give me the sync tab under options?

    With firefox 3.6 I think you may have had to use sync as a separate add-on. If so try finding and installing that. Alternativly export your bookmarks from Firefox 3.6, then move that file, using any suitable method (eg removable media, email atacchment, computer network) to somewhere the new laptop can access it and imprt the bookmarks. Remember
    * back up your bookmarks (on both machines) before doing anything
    * importing standard firefox bookmarks overwwrites existing bookmarks
    * (if you just have a few bookmarks on one machine, consider exporting as HTML, when you import those they will append, instead of overwriting the existing files)
    See

  • The screen on my daughter's iPod Touch is cracked and will not power on. I cannot unlock it, I do not believe it was synched with any computer. I would like to transfer her stuff from the old to the new.

    Any help is appreciated on how to unlock an iPod touch that has no screen. All I want to do is transer her apps/pics/music to her new iPod touch.

    - What happens when you connect the iPod to its syncing computer and try to transfer purchases and other things? Error messages?
    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - I know of nothing else to do without erasing the iPod.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • My computer broke downn, and I would like to copy the libary from the old to the new. It that possible??

    My old computer is dead. My iTunes library is stores there. Are there any solution to transfer it to a new computer?

    Depends how it died. It may be possible to extract the hard drive from the old computer, mount it in an external drive bay, then copy the iTunes folder across. If you have an iPod or iOS device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, if not see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

    Which iPod model is it?  Does it connect with USB?  If it needs FireWire (3rd gen iPod or older), the current Mac mini still has FireWire, but it is FireWire 800 (9-pin) so you will need an adapter to convert it to the old FireWire 400 (6-pin).
    Once the iPod connects to the Mac, you cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your new Mac, you can add them to the iTunes library.

  • How do I switch music from my old computer to new one???? PLEASE HELP

    i just got a new computer and i'd like to use my ipod on ths one instead but i really dont want to lose all of my music! if you know anything it would be really appreciated! thanx

    I just did this same thing last night. Go to the main support page on the Apple site. On page 15 of the tutorial there are detailed instructions that go like this...
    Use your iPod to transfer music to another computer.
    Select your iPod in the iTunes source list, click the iPod Options button, and then choose the option to Manually manage songs and playlists.
    Look at the bottom of the iTunes window to check the amount of free space available on your iPod.
    If the amount of space used is greater than half the total space, you’ll need to delete songs from your iPod by selecting them and pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.
    Go to the Advanced menu and choose Consolidate LIbrary. This will make sure that all music on your computer is stored in the same place.
    Quit iTunes and then locate the iTunes folder. On a Mac you’ll find it in the Music folder in your Home folder. On a PC you’ll find it in the My Music folder inside the My Documents folder.
    Copy the iTunes folder to your iPod, eject the iPod, and then connect it to the new computer.
    Copy the iTunes folder from the iPod to the same location on the new computer, replacing an existing folder if necessary.
    Delete the iTunes folder from your iPod to make room.
    Open iTunes on the new computer. You’ll see your entire music library.
    In iTunes, set your iPod to automatically update all songs and playlists. Your iPod is now linked to your new computer.
    Good luck! If you have many songs...it will take an hour or more.
